Moonwalk training - 10miler

hihi!

did you notice? it snowed!!! 6inches where i am - looks pretty but bit of an ass to walk around in specially when you are trying to train for TWO moonwalks!

for those who are wondering why two i'll tell you - i applied for the London one, started training and decided i would be so gutted if i didnt get the ballot for london that i'd better apply for edinboro just in the hope that i would get a least one. well LUCKY ME i got both lol! so lovely challenge that i really need to train for...

but SNOW grrrr....

so im supposed to do 4 walks a week - three mini walks for pace (powerwalking 4.5mph) and a big ol one on a saturday. i havent been out alllll week for little walks but decided i would bite the bullet and get out in the snow anyway - with the help of my tusty spiders (teeny crampons i bought last year when i walked up scafell pike).

so today i can report a 10 miler too a very slow snow pace with one stop at a well known american coffee shop and another at less well known greasy spoon. Its ALOT harder to walk in the snow... someone said it was 15x harder to walk in the snow and i can say that my thighs reckon it.

fingers cross no more snow for this week :(

Diet wk1- the monster under the bed

soooo diet hmm?! how attractive is that as an option? not particularly!

and wow isnt it january everyone i know is on a diet - even my lovely auntie which means no more cakes - dang! the lovelies at work are on a diet just because its jan and thats the done thing - if its anything like last year they'll give up by feb. however the rest of my friends are on a diet because a mutal friend is getting married so we all want to look HOT me specially as i am in the wedding party.

everyone seems to be tackling this differently, some on weight watchers, some on slimming world and i frankly dont no what i want to do with myself.

at the moment im at odds to even way meself - i know ive put weight on so whats the point of seeing it in LED. so ill do the old favourite - weight watchers - for now and when i feel its safe to i'll get the monster out from under the bed and step on it. ahhhh!!!

In the begining there was the word...

...and the word was FAT!

Unfortunately I seem to have put on most of the weight i lost this time last year...gutted...

anywho the time has come to lose it again and thought it might be a nice idea to take you along for the ride - so welcome who ever you may well be and thank you for stumbling onto me blog.

So what of me? I am in my early 20s i lost 3 stone this time last year and have put back on approximately a third

So i guess at this point it would be a cool time to tell you my goals so you where this blog is going to go (well hopefully!)

1) get back down to my goal weight (about 14lbs to lose)
2) walk TWO moonwalks this year
3) learn to eat fruit and veg - something approximating a healthy diet at least
4) walk the London ring
5) Regularly drink 8 glasses of water a day

so i guess from that little list you might guess that i am into my walking but have a terrible diet to go with it and you'd pretty much have me down to a T.

So hopefully I'll be logging my weight losses on a monday and updating this blog as and when the impulse takes me - hope you enjoy the ride
